Following the trend, I asked ChatGPT ‘What’s the most embarrassing thing you know about me? (make it funny)’.
Pretty sure I got roasted. 😅

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

BRCA mutations matter for men too — screening can help detect risks for cancers like prostate, pancreatic, and male breast cancer, enabling early intervention and better outcomes.
For three decades, BRCA mutations have been inextricably linked with breast cancer. But branding BRCA as “the breast-cancer gene” has meant that some people—especially men—don’t realize that they, too, should get screened, @kristenvbrown.bsky.social reports: theatln.tc/lw70dIRK

Last weekend, Earth’s most famous technosignature — known as the Arecibo message — celebrated its 50th birthday.
In a story for SciAm, I had the chance to explore the transmission's significance, both then and now.

“Searching for life beyond Earth is, in some sense, an exercise in optimism.”
Read this beautiful article by @nadiadrake.bsky.social about an interstellar 50th anniversary, which also concerns her family. (Lots of @thebeatles, too … can you find it?)
